Hi Ben, Further to this item, I played with proxies with the same result.
As a (related) side issue I found that if I set proxy info then I still couldn't reach the peers.txt file in the Bridging section of the preferences. This can cause a bit of trouble. I worked around this by setting up a local URL to the peers.txt. AG3 is then happy to go off and retrieve the bridges. This could have been avoided in the software by permitting me to enter "vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8030" directly into the Bridge registries box. BTW we also have a peers1.txt which points to a more local (for us) "hall.vislab.uq.edu.au:8030". Hope that makes sense.

Has anyone else seen this, or does anyone know why this happens?
